This passage is about religious followers:
He is perfectly
satisfied that there is design in the world, and that consequently
there must have been a designer. It does not occur to him that it
is necessary to account for the existence of an infinite
personality. He is perfectly certain that there can be no design
without a designer, and he is, equally certain that there can be a
designer who was not designed. The absurdity becomes so great that
it takes the place of a demonstration. He takes it for granted that
matter was created and that its creator was not. He assumes that a
creator existed from eternity, without cause, and created what is
called matter out of nothing; or, whereas there was nothing, this
creator made the something that we call substance.

Makes as much sense as saying:
This passage is about the non believers:
He is perfectly satisified that there is design in the world, and that consequently there must not have been a designer. It does not occur to him that is is necessary to account for the existence of infinite matter. He is perfectly certain that there can be design without a designer, and he is equally certain that there can be design that was not designed. The absurdity becomes so great it takes the place of demonstration. He takes it for granted that matter was not created. He assumes that matter existed from eternity, without cause. and created itself out of nothing; or, whereas there was nothing, this matter made the something we call substance.

Be Good, consistently. ...Common-feel... It's a infrequent commodity... *The five bodily senses: Seeing, listening to, tasting, smelling, and touching. Believe it or no longer, all 5 of the bodily senses will enable a individual to consider. All five of the bodily senses might have interaction inside the framework of human cognizance. *The seven states of human cognizance: a million. Unarvu - feeling two. Unarchi - concentration three. Puthi - Intellect four. Madhi - Judgment five. Arivu - Subtle Wisdom 6. Pahuth Arivu - Divine Wisdom 7. Perr Arivu - Divine Luminous Wisdom All people might probably have entry to the, 5 bodily senses. All people do have entry to the, "Seven States of Consciousness". A individual have to attempt diligently to entry all "Seven States of Consciousness", for that is the actual start-proper bestowed upon every individual. Hopefully that makes a few 'feel'... Peace be consistently with you. Meechum Anbu (Much Love) in sha'Allah al-hamdu lillah Salaams,

"...it is necessary to account for the existence of an infinite
personality" When did this become "necessary?"
God says that it is necessary for you to give account of your sins. But He has also given you a way out of that - if you are willing to receive it.
God is fully experiential, but He doesn't do things according to your rules. That's what has you all so upset. He asked very easy things, and some are willing do them and some are not. It's that simple.
But I tell you what, instead of aligning yourself with Him (which He requires) make up excuses with "science." See how that works out for you when you are eventually standing face to face with Him at His throne...good luck.

The Magick of the human mind: we can talk ourselves into believing many contradictions and strange ideas. Why not find nice ones to brain-wash yourself with? I wish the dogmatic believers would take more responsibility for what they allow themselves to be influenced by.
